Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September (September 5 in 2011) that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers.
Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. In high society, Labor Day is (or was) considered the last day of the year when it is fashionable for women to wear white. Put your whites away ladies!
In U.S. sports, Labor Day marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons. NCAA teams usually play their first games the week before Labor Day, with the NFL traditionally playing their first game the Thursday following Labor Day. The Southern 500 NASCAR auto race was held that day from 1950 to 1983 in Darlington, South Carolina. At Indianapolis, the National Hot Rod Association hold their finals to the U.S. Nationals drag race.
In the U.S. most school districts that started summer vacation in early to mid-June will resume school near this day (while schools that had summer begin near Memorial Day will have already been in session for about 3 weeks)
Happy Labor Day all! Fall will be here soon, 
the birds will be ready for Migration, 
time to cover the pools, 
there will be more traffic on the roads 
and it's one step closer to my favorite Holiday... 
It also means while Archer's gone, Beauty must do all the repairs at the nest....(or Shaky)! I noticed that it was Labor Day, but not sure what it was. Thanks Donna for explaining.
And about Fall will be here soon, I'm still waiting for the Summer.
